This action is no longer needed, GitHub Actions (ubuntu) ships with xvfb

See at the bottom of: https://github.com/actions/runner-images/blob/main/images/linux/Ubuntu2204-Readme.md

And a successful run at https://github.com/fregante/text-field-edit/actions/runs/6107546540/workflow#L28

I'd probably add a notice to the repo and/or deprecate it.

Thanks for linking the documentation. It was believed that this installation could have been an accident or some form of experimentation. We couldn't find a documentation noting XVFB officially so we continued to use the action. ✅ Support

This action works on all OS, while the GA one works only on Linux

- if: runner.os == 'Linux'
  run: xvfb-run npm test
- if: runner.os != 'Linux'
  run: npm test

This is still not really an alternative as one now needs to replicate all steps in a matrix, so can this action not simply wrap the call if appropriate and be a noop otherwhise?
